Re: Lsvx-t
So I'm always shopping deals and I just pulled the trigger on a used ls3 intake for the car. My hopes for this are to gain back some much needed hood clearance. Now I did already cut my hood up but I may be able to salvage it. Worst case scenario I can use a smaller bump which will help the eye appeal. More updates when I can find time to get it fitted amongst other pieces.
In the meantime rest easy that this is an absolute monster and I am not totally sure I will ever have traction WOT in any gear!! Tom |

Re: Lsvx-t
I can't wait to see a video of it engulfed in tire smoke!

Re: Lsvx-t
So I ended up picking up a great deal on a used race car trailer. So my winter storage solution is here!!! I need to work on installing a shore power system so I can work on it in here too. It's now a registered 1992 so I made a couple conservative 3rd gear pulls before tucking it away for the season. Oh man this is going to be a very fun spring and summer.

Re: Lsvx-t
So since it's slumbering, I found a couple leaks. Rear main housing was aftermarket, and I now seriously regret using it. I pulled the engine back out again because I can't pull the trans without dropping the engine due to bulkhead space. While it is out I removed the subframe and steering rack. I depowered the rack, which was a used unit and also leaking. I installed a new oem rear main seal housing and will be reinstalling the engine and subframe tomorrow hopefully.
While the engine was out I decided to heat wrap my hot side to try and keep engine compartment temps down. Also picked up a turbo blanket as well. Once the engine etc is back together I will be working on fitting a Nissan versa epas for power steering. I will also be reworking my belts to run with just water pump and alternator. Pics and documentation of epas install to come in the coming weeks Tom Last edited by TomsSVX; 01-15-2022 at 06:47 PM. |

Re: Lsvx-t
Well engine is back in. Just waiting on a bracket for the idlers to go on where the power steering pump was. Everything is heat wrapped and I added a flex to the downpipe for reasons.

Re: Lsvx-t
Don't mind the mess!! Doing a little electrical house cleaning in between phases of make the new steering column. Was necessary to make a new dash bar due to needing a higher column mounting position. Finally got to use my pipe bender!! Waiting for a few pieces to arrive and I need to source some oddball pieces of steel to make the column so I can sort out the mounts. Just a quick pic to show what's going on

Re: Lsvx-t
It's coming along. It will be wonderful to see it completed. A video of a cloud of tire smoke comes to mind. Oh no, that would be irresponsible.

Re: Lsvx-t
It would be if there's no steering!
